The Ultimate Guide to WE Fest Camping: Find Your Perfect Spot for 2025

From chill-mode to full-party mode—everything you need to know about all six WE Fest camping sites

Spring sunshine in Fargo, North Dakota, means we are one step closer to the summer activities we’ve been longing for through each passing blizzard! One activity we love to plan out with our friends and family is the one and only WE Fest Country Music Festival at the Soo Pass Ranch, just off MN State Highway 59 and County Road 22 in Detroit Lakes, MN.

Now, to harness the full experience of this one-of-a-kind country music festival, camping is a must. WE Fest’s camping experience features six campgrounds circling its concert bowl, and each embraces its own unique vibe so that no matter what type of experience you’re looking for, there’s something for you.

Dive into WE Fest's Six Campground Experiences

1. Lake Sallie

When we think Minnesota, we think lakes! That’s exactly what the beautiful Lake Sallie campground embodies, reminiscent of one big family reunion and friendly for all ages. You’ll even have access to hot grab-and-go food items from the popular Wrap Shake located near the showers.

2. Northwoods

Want the other side of Minnesota’s nature and something more restful? Northwoods has you covered with its hilly shade, winding roads, and noise curfews. Relax into your very own forest getaway whenever you’re not partying it up to the music.

3. Oatfield

Let’s explore the Northeast together. Sometimes, all you need to feel truly free are open skies, wide fields, and ample space to stretch out. That’s what Oatfield offers—a diverse mix of campers. Plus, from the wooded area at the north end, you’re just a short walk away from the concert bowl.

4. Blue Ox

Focused on which spot gets you closest to entry into the festival? Check out Blue Ox on the East side of the grounds. This popular campground is a fantastic mixture of young campers and veterans and is a great go-to for anyone looking for that easy access to the East gate! 

5. Viking

Let’s continue east to the one, the only, the legendary Viking campground. If you’re searching for a campground brimming with energy and focusing on fun, look no further – grab your festival friends and party like a Viking here.

6. VIP

If you’re seeking a more comfortable experience to park your RV, we understand and have you covered! On the south end of the grounds, the VIP area offers plenty of shade and is conveniently close to the sponsored hospitality area, which is open to everyone.

Your Top Camping Questions Answered

“Do the campgrounds have electric hook-ups?”
Some of them do, yes! Lake Sallie, Northwoods, VIP, and Blue Ox all have electric plugin access options. These sell out fast, though, so check on their status now on the WE Fest Camping Tickets page and grab yours. 
 
“Is there somewhere I can find a list of items I can and cannot bring?”

We’re glad you asked! Absolutely. Check out the WE Fest Camping page and scroll to the bottom of the page for a full list of permitted and prohibited items. You can also find other general camping policies here.

“Is there any early access to the campgrounds? I’d love to get a spot near my friends!”
Who wouldn’t!? That’s why not only can you get Early Arrival Passes for Tuesday, August 5th from 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM to get situated before the fun begins, you can also let your campground manager know you’re looking to be near friends! They’ll work with you to accommodate your request. 

“Do you have ADA campsites?”

Yes! Lake Sallie and Northwoods are both ADA campsites offering easy access to the concert bowl. If you have any questions, you can reach out to [email protected]
